MODULE SUMMARY

The Inviso Autostart Utility Library

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the Inviso autostart utility library is to facilitate the creation and modification of autostart configuration files used by the standard autostart.

EXPORTS

setup_autostart(Node, R, Opts, TracerData, CmdFiles, Bindings, Transl, RTtag) -> ok | {error, Reason}

Types:

Node = atom()
R = int()
Opts -- see inviso:add_nodes/2,3
TracerData -- see inviso:init_tracing/1,2
CmdFiles = [CmdFile]
 CmdFile = string()
Bindings = [{Var,Val}]
 Var = atom()
 Val = term()
Transl = [{{M1,F1,Arity}, {M2,F2,{Mt,Ft}}}]
 M1 = F1 = M2 = F2 = Mt = Ft = atom()
 Arity = int()
RTtag = term()
Reason = term()

Creates an autostart configuration file on Node. The name of the file is automatically deducted from consulting the Runtime_Tools configuration parameters at Node.

R is the number of allowed autostarts remaining.

Opts is the options which shall be given to the runtime component. See inviso:add_nodes/2,3.

TracerData is used when initiating tracing on this node. See inviso:init_tracing/1,2.

CmdFiles points out files containing instructions understood by the inviso_autostart_server implementation of an autostart initiator.

Bindings is a list of {Var, Val} tuples, where Var is the name of a variable and Val the actual value of the variable.

Transl means that M1:F1/Arity shall be translated into M2:F2.

RTtag is the incarnation tag of the runtime component. See See inviso:add_nodes/2,3.

set_repeat(Node, R) -> ok | {error, Reason}

Types:

Node = atom()
R = int()
Reason = term()

Sets the repeat parameter in the autostart file at Node without changing any of its other contents. The autostart configuration file must exist.

R is the number of allowed autostarts remaining.

inhibit_autostart(Node) -> ok | {error, Reason}

Types:

Node = atom()
Reason = term()

Sets the repeat parameter in the autostart file at Node to 0. Equivalent to set_repeat(Node, 0).
